Observations of unidentified EGRET sources were made with the Whipple 10m imaging atmospheric Čerenkov telescope between Fall 1999 and Spring 2001. During this period, a high resolution 490 pixel camera with 4 field of view was present on the telescope. Characterization of the off-axis response of this instrument was done using observations of the Crab Nebula. No significant emission was detect...

We provide a representation for the scaling limit of the d = 2 critical Ising magnetization field as a (conformal) random field using SLE (Schramm-Loewner Evolution) clusters and associated renormalized area measures. The renormalized areas are from the scaling limit of the critical FK (Fortuin-Kasteleyn) clusters and the random field is a convergent sum of the area measures with random signs. ...

The analysis of semivolatiles in the parts-per-trillion range presents challenges due to analyte activity, background contamination, and instrument sensitivity. Method requirements vary worldwide, with the least sensitive specifying 1-μL injections and full scan data acquisition. Lower level calibrations can be achieved using large volume injection (LVI) with a programmable temperature vaporizi...

We consider identical particle and lepton mass effects in the cascade decay $H\to Z^\ast(\to\tau^+\tau^-)+Z^\ast(\to\tau^+\tau^-)$. Since scale of problem is set by off-shellness $p_a^2$ $p_b^2$ respective gauge bosons limits ($4m_\tau^2\le p_a^2,p_b^2\le (m_H-2m_\tau)^2$) not $m_H^2$, are nonnegligible particular close to threshold off-shell decays. calculate rates single angle distributions c...

The age of electrically‐based devices has been with us for more than six decades. With more and more electrical devices being packed into smaller and smaller spaces, the limits of physical space will prevent further expansion in the direction the microelectronics industry is currently going. Also, volatile memory, which does not retain information upon being powered off, is significantly hinder...

Inspired by recent progress on classical limits of scattering amplitudes, we show that hard thermal loops can be obtained from off-shell currents. The classicality is made manifest associating wavenumbers to soft particles. We compute the limit these currents in QED, QCD and gravity. Our proposal does not involve introduction ghosts.

Lower extremity amputation not only limits mobility, but also increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis of the intact limb. Dynamic walking models of non-amputees suggest that pushing-off from the trailing limb can reduce collision forces on the leading limb. These collision forces may determine the peak knee external adduction moment (EAM), which has been linked to the development of knee OA i...

Triage in emergency response refers to determining the priority of victims based on their need for treatment and medical intervention. Today, triage is performed by the use of paper-based triage tags. Communication about patients' status is mainly carried out over radio or through handwritten notes. This practice makes it challenging for emergency personnel to keep an overview of the number, lo...

While many aspects of tutoring have been identified and studied, off topic conversation has been largely ignored. In this paper, off topic conversation during 50 hours of one-to-one expert tutoring sessions was analyzed. Two distinct methodologies (Dialogue Move occurrence and LIWC analysis) were used to determine the anatomy of off topic conversation. Both analyses revealed that the expected s...
